Chapter 163
"Vanessa! You finally made it!"
"Oh my, Vanessa! It's been years, and you look wealthier and younger than ever!"
These two women seemed to be in their 40s or 50s, but their flashy outfits made them look out of place. Their
makeup-blue eyeshadow, bright red lipstick, and an 80s-style perm—was something | couldn't compliment. They
looked like a group of overdone women.
The woman who bumped intowas no better. She wore a too-tight dress, squeezing out rolls of fat, and was
teetering on tiny high heels, which madeworry that her heels might break.
The three of them talked loudly and non-stop, like a chaotic scene.
Standing beside them was a thin, dark-skinned woman who looked much simpler and more down-to-earth. She
gave off a likable vibe but clearly couldn't join the conversation.
She awkwardly stood there, her smile restrained. She occasionally reached up to adjust her hair behind her ear,
trying to hide her nervousness.

| was trapped in the middle of this group, unable to leave.
"Vanessa, what are your plans later? Let us treat you to a meal!"
The woman who bumped intolaughed. "No need. My son-in-law has already arranged everything. You can all
just follow me, and we'll have a meal together."
"Your son-in-law? Oh wow! Veronica really is lucky. | remember you saying she married a rich heir from a
scholarly family, right?"
"That's right! My son-in-law's family is very wealthy. They have two properties in Welsington City!"
"Oh my! That means Veronica won't have to worry about housing when she gets married. You're set for life! With
a son-in-law like that, you'll be able to arrange work for all your relatives in Welsington City. Your family's on the
rise!"
| couldn't help but feel for her son-in-law.
It would be one thing if the family had money and power. But if they were just an ordinary middle-class family,
they wouldn't have the resources to support all those poor relatives. It would end in chaos.
As | listened, the thin, dark-skinned woman's phone suddenly rang.
| noticed that she was using an old-fashioned phone, which cost about a hundred dollars, and couldn't help but
be curious. There were people who didn't use smartphones in that day and age.
"Sweetheart, I'm here at the exit with Veronica's mother. Yeah, just cover."
It turned out that she was waiting for her daughter.
Seeing her struggling with so many
bags but no suitcase, | felt
sympathy. Traveling such a long way without proper luggage must not have been easy. | thought that this was
selfless parental love.
While | was trying to figure out how to get these women out of the way so | could find Felicia, | saw her running
toward us in a hurry.
Wait... could it be?
"Mom!"

As expected, as soon as she saw the group, she rushed over and hugged the dark-skinned woman tightly.
| was stunned. That was Felicia's mother? And the other woman that was surrounded by the others was
Veronica's mother?
At that moment, | thought the old saying was true-birds of a feather flocked together. It was important to have a
good role model in every family.
"Sweetheart!"
The two of them embraced tightly, and Felicia was in tears. | had never seen her cry so emotionally before.
Standing there as they reunited, | felt
awkward, so | gently pushed through
the flashy women and walked
"Hello, Mrs. Cylon. I'm William
White."
Over.
Mrs. Cylon froze momentarily, then Felicia wiped her tears and quickly said, "Mom, this is my friend."
